NERV Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 overall quality of coals has gone severely down, i used to be able smoke for 2 hours on one golden coal, now they barely last an hour, other brands that i liked but have noticed decline in are 3 kings and original star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 The age old story, a company does something well for awhile and then when they've made a good name for themselves, they start cutting quality to make more money. Quick buck artists. I'm not saying that this is the case here, but that is what it sounds like NERV is making a case for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioannisds Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I've noticed coal quality dropping lately too. Almost every 3 Kings I use now breaks apart when I tap it on the tray to get rid of the ash. They never did this before. I love the convenience of quick lights, but I might have to start looking at natural coals here if this continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpy Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 How long do the naturals last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Nours are still ripping for me A Nour coal will last me about 45-1h, and I'm using around 2-2.5" pieces of Nours. But I normally have another Nour going on top of the lit ones, so that when the first coals start to get too small, I have another one ready to go. For a 1h-1h30min session, I use around 3x 2.5" Nour coals, and they are typically still going by the end of my session... I have a whole lot of 3Kings and Goldens that I aquired from a friend that I haven't used yet, so I'll give them a try and let you guys know how they go.. I really only use them when I'm traveling and don't want to take my big bag of Nours and torch with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmexx Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Golden coals have always been the worst for me.Try starlights, they work well. Oh and of course, 3 kings :DJon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
